Plato’s view on immortality

The purpose of this assignment is simply to present a (more) detailed elaboration of an author’s view; and to develop your reaction to an author’s view; It can be adequately completed simply from the uploaded textual material.

The most basic form of this assignment would be to simply provide a detailed elaboration of an author’s position by reference to the explicit questions below. Or you can make the major point of emphasis a critique of one of the arguments. A distinct option would be that you could present your own thinking on the subject .Obviously elaborating your view involves a bit more creativity and thinking on your part but such attempts at original thinking are always encouraged (and appreciated). Your position could be detailing why you think someone’s view is just wrong, or you might be in partial agreement. You might be in agreement with an author, or you might be vacillating between two competing views.

On this assignment I would expect any positions being discussed to be adequately explained/detailed. To do this you can use quotes, but do so sparingly (and remember an un-attributed quote is technically plagiarized) and always explain their use. (I.e. explain exactly what is being said and how it fits into your overall presentation.)You should utilize examples to explicate any lines of reasoning or concepts as necessary. Further, since this is meant as a written assignment, the organization of the ideas you present should also be consideration. You should have some sort of introduction, (A brief description of what is to follow, what you’re doing, who you’re doing it to, and (if applicable) what your position is, etc.).
